Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil
chapter-1637

A Dragonoid was seen flying through the open sky with his wide-open wings.

He easily broke the speed of a sound, channeling his A-Rank Mana to fly without any set direction.

"This… this is awesome."

Eren said aloud as he felt the effects of his new dragonoid transformation.

He could feel that Reen had upped the stats of his original Dragonoid transformation quite a bit. Plus, he felt as if the set was not a separate entity but a part of himself.

Eren could feel that his mana consumption had reduced while the overall functionality of the Dragonoid transformation had been enhanced to the next level. Furthermore, he did not feel like his psyche was being affected by the use of the Dragonoid transformation.

Earlier, Eren had restricted the use of the Dragonoid transformation because it affected his emotions and his psyche quite a bit. He couldn't keep his cool after donning the set, getting influenced by the Wrath Mana and the anguished wyvern's soul.

However, since Reen had isolated the wyvern's soul from Eren, he was in complete control of himself. He did not feel like he was wearing the Hex Artifact Set. instead, he felt like he was tapping into one of his natal transformations, like the white-haired transformation.

Reen's mana signatures had also completely changed after she devoured the Hex Artifact Set. earlier, one could sense that she was a bit mysterious even though she appeared to be normal. However, nobody would mistake her for a regular artifact set anymore after her transformation.

Reen's earlier signatures completely evolved to match the Wyvern set. Since she had subdued the wyvern's soul within her, she could unlock more features of the Hex Artifact Set for Eren, giving him the versatility he needed as per his Ranking Class, spells, and Elemental Attainments.

Swoosh. Zoom. Boom.

Eren landed abruptly on the ground, sinking a region of about 50 meters in diameter around him with his pure physical force alone. He thought of disengaging from the armor set and in the next moment the armor set separated from him before turning into Reen.

"How was it?"

Reen asked Eren with an excited voice. She finally found out how she could be useful to Eren. This fact was a mental relief for her for some reason.

"Kekeke. It's better than I thought it would go," Eren chuckled as he ruffled Reen's hair playfully. "So I have to keep on feeding you artifacts from now on. Um… let's see. Shall we do some more experiments?"

Eren asked as he thought of something. Reen nodded. She was also keen on learning more about her capabilities. This was a journey they both had to go through together to understand Reen's limits as an ever-growing Elder Seed Artifact.

Eren quickly produced some regular artifacts in front of Reen that did not have an artifact spirit. These were the artifacts Alephee had created to help Eren grow his weapon distribution business all across Anfang.

In the past, Eren had become a mass distributor of weapons even before he started making them. He had a lot of premium-grade artifacts he had kept aside for himself and carried with him at all times.

Reen managed to devour the artifacts Eren had produced easily. However, she told him that she could not feel the same level of satiation as before. Her stats and powers also didn't change. Not visibly at least. And she felt no different from before.

Eren retracted the rest of the artifacts, storing them in his ID Storage once again. Since Reen did not feel anything remarkable after devouring dozens of artifacts in one go, there was no point in burning the rest of the artifacts away. He could guess that Reen's growth had indeed taken place after devouring the weapons. However, it didn't matter much because the artifacts didn't have artifact spirits in them.

The next batch of artifact sets Eren produced were the transcendent-grade artifacts. These artifacts had artifact spirits bound to them. However, these spirits were slumbering inside their respective artifacts with no chance for them to wake up.

These transcendent-grade weapons were the failed attempts Eren had produced to master the Hex Artifact creation. He didn't have loads of them stored in his storage. However, he still managed to produce about 15 of them, prompting Reen to devour them.

Reen obliged Eren's command right away. She was able to devour the physical properties of the artifacts right away, making them become a part of her. However, she had to sit in a cross-legged position to devour the slumbering souls inside the artifacts.

Reen was able to tame the artifact spirits inside the transcendent-grade artifacts easily. They were far lower in the hierarchy than her after all. However, she had devoured too many of them at once, forcing her to digest her gains slowly.

Reen felt as if too many voices were speaking inside her head after she devoured so many spirits and tamed them. She felt it was distracting for her and told her findings to Eren.

Upon Eren's instructions, Reen started to devour the artifact spirits as well, separating their residual Spiritual Force from them before allowing them to disperse on their own.

Reen soon found out that the mental clarity she needed was returning to her. The voices quieted down one after the other as she kept dispersing the artifact spirits.

Eren didn't feel like he was losing anything by letting Reen disperse the artifact spirits he had bound to the transcendent-grade artifacts he had created. These creations were his failed attempts at creating the Hex Artifacts anyway. If anything, he felt that they were better used on Reen for her growth at this point.

Eren finally took out the Hex Artifacts he had successfully created under Grandmaster Baelin's guidance. There were only seven of them in number and they weren't as detailed as the dragonoid Hex Artifact set.

This time, Eren told Reen to devour the Hex Artifact sets one by one. He had a feeling Reen would get overwhelmed if she tried to tame the artifact spirits of multiple Hex artifacts in one go. After all, the Hex Artifacts had completely awakened artifact spirits.
